Facts about Northeast India

What are seven sisters and one brother of India?

Have you ever asked yourself that question? We did, too, and it turns out that Northeast India comprises seven sister states, i.e., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and one brother state of Sikkim. Not just that, you’ll discover on your trip to Northeast India that the region also comprises the Northeastern area of West Bengal, which happens to be the famous Darjeeling.

What is the best time to visit Northeast India?

Owing much to its stunning location wherein Northeast India shares its borders with the neighbouring countries of Tibet, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, the whole region is dominated by hills and mountains to a large extent. Due to this, the climate in Northeast India generally remains cool while winters get extremely cold. It is advised that travelling to Northeast regions should be avoided in the rainy season from May to September-end. Hence, the best time to visit Northeast India is from November to April, also the peak season for travellers. The weather is at its best at this time, making it perfect for heading out and witnessing the authentic charm of the seven states.
